This photo captures the essence of Japan through our family cat. Doesn't it look like a ukiyo-e print? Three cranes bless the cat.

I am a cat photographer based on Tashiro Island, a famous cat island in Miyagi Prefecture Japan. While there, I became friends with the islanders and received two kittens from a shelter on the island. I am currently taking care of them and photographing their daily growth. My cats, who are wild children themselves, are running around our house today with full of energy.
